The Wish Centre is seeking a dedicated Fundraising Manager to lead and grow our income-generating activities, manage our charity shop, and build lasting relationships with supporters, businesses, and the community.

• Manage the day-to-day operations of our community-facing charity shop
• Build relationships with local businesses, donors, and community groups
• Oversee and support a small team of fundraising staff and volunteers
• Ensure compliance with fundraising regulations and best practices

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has proven success in fundraising, particularly generating unrestricted income
• Is confident leading campaigns and managing fundraising events
• Can inspire and lead volunteers and staff
• Understands data protection and fundraising compliance
